I'm going towards blonde myself Tink.
Probably will be there by december :-).
I'm 39 and probably 50% white in front,
70% on the sides and 30% in the back.
Had my first white hair at 17!!!! No kidding.
I do like to be a redhead though, right now, its Matrix Socolor 7RR. My highights are copper blonder, level 8. Those a salon colors, I don't trust myself to do any coloring except darker coloring.
I'd go even redder, a intense rich shimmery rubby red, if I didn't think it impede getting my next job as a chief engineer :-). Once I'm hired though... I can't promise anything to them ;-).
I saw an incredible rich golden blond, with slightly darker golden blond lowlights (level 9 main color and level 7 lowlights) with a choppy layered cut, that I really want to try later this year, I just want to get there very slowly so I don't mess up my hair. I did a stupid thing last year, colored them off black, I'm still trying to slowly lighten them 6 months later. If your planning on going lighter, don't color your hair black of dark brown!!! (My natural color is off black).
I get my hair colored every 5-6 weeks at a great local salon for $25!! Getting the highlights put in and coloring the rest, cost $55 which is at least $70 dollars less than the big salons do it for!!!!
